EVEN HEAT CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL
The Even Heat Control System consist of : a main control
board (EHC1), a heating element assembly and a thermis-
tor for discharge air measurement. The system is
designed for field installation in the CB29, CB30 and
CB31MV series blower coil units, and is available in 9kw,
12.5kw, 15kw and 20kw 240vac, single−phase. The sys-
tem provides heat during thermostat demand for electric
heat only and heat pump applications. The ECB29EH is
compatible with electromechanical, electronic and pro-
grammable thermostats.

Information in this manual is intended for use by a qualified

service technician only. All specifications are subject to
change. Procedures outlined in this manual are presented
as a recommendation only and do not supersede or re-
place local, state or national codes.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures

CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during unit
installation and service to protect the unit’s
electronic controls. Precautions will help to
avoid control exposure to electrostatic dis-
charge by putting the unit, the control and the
technician at the same electrostatic potential.
Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching Table of Contents

I−ECB29EH COMPONENTS
ECB29EH parts arrangement is shown in figure 1 . All electric
heat sections consist of components mounted to the electric
heat vestibule panel and electric heating elements exposed
directly to the airstream. The electric heat section is con-
nected to the unit via jack plug J2, which plugs into plug
P2 of the unit.
A−EHC1 Control Board (A45)
(See Flow Chart Next Two Pages)
The ECB29EH heat package will maintain the selected
discharge temperature during heat pump heating demand
or W1 heating demand. When there is W1 and a Y heating
demand, the setpoint will increase to the next higher set-
ting. After W1 is satisfied and the demand returns to a Y
heating demand, temperature control will return to the se-
lected setpoint. The EHC1 control board (figure 2 ) is
factory set at 85F discharge air, but can be adjusted to
100F, 115F or 130F. To adjust discharge air set−point,
simply move jumper from one setting to the other.
The EHC1 checks the discharge air temperature mea-
sured by the thermistor. If the discharge air is less than the
set point, the control will wait four minutes and check dis-
charge air again. If the discharge air is still less than the set
point, the control will energize the first heating element
(HE1). The control will wait four minutes and check dis-

point, the control will energize the second heating element
(HE2). The control will continue to check the discharge air
temperature every four minutes. If the discharge air is
10F greater than the set point, the control will de−ener-
gize one heating element. The control will wait four
minutes and check for heating demand. If heating demand
is still present and discharge air is within 2F of set point,
(for example if the set point is 85F and the discharge air is
83F) the control will remain in its current mode until the
demand is satisfied. If the discharge air is 3F or more
lower than set point, (set point of 85F and the discharge
air is 81F ) the control will energize another heating ele-
ment. The control will wait four minutes and check for
heating demand. If heating demand is still present and the
discharge air is not greater than 10F of set point, the con-
trol will remain in its current mode. If the discharge air is
greater than 10F of set point, the control will de−energize
one heating element. The control will wait four minutes
and check for heating demand. If heating demand is still
present, and the discharge air is not less than 6F of the
setpoint, the control will remain in its current state until
heating demand is satisfied. If the discharge air is 6F less
of the set point, the control will energize another heating
element. The control will remain in this state until heating
demand is satisfied.

FIGURE 2
Use of Outdoor Thermostat
The W2 input from the indoor unit to the EHC1, may be
controlled by use of an outdoor thermostat connected
across R and W2 at the indoor unit’s TB1 terminal strip. If
the outdoor thermostat is open, heating element (HE3)
and (HE4) will remain de−energized. When the outdoor
thermostat is closed, (HE3) and (HE4) can be energized to
maintain the selected discharge air.
Heat Pump Defrost Cycle
On heat pumps the compressor will operate on a first stage
heating demand, and the blower will operate on the speed
designated for the heat pump. When defrost is initiated,
the reversing valve is energized and W1 is energized by a
24vac signal from the heat pump. If at least one heating
element is energized when defrost is initiated, the control
will energize one more.
If no elements are energized at the time defrost is initiated,
the EHC1 will energize heating element HE1 and HE2, to
maintain discharge air set point. The EHC1 will wait four
minutes and then energize or de−energize another heating
element as needed to maintain discharge air during de-
frost cyle.
When the defrost cycle is complete, the EHC1 will de−en-
ergize all heating elements except the first one, HE1. After
four minutes the EHC1 will check the discharge air and de−
energize HE1 if it is not needed to maintain discharge air
set point.
Supplemental Heat (Heat Pump)
When the indoor/outdoor units are switched to emergency
heat through the indoor thermostat, the heat pump will be
de−energized and the first stage heat demand will ener-
gize W1 on the indoor unit. The indoor blower will operate
on the designated heating speed, and the EHC1 will oper-
ate as described on the previous pages. If the outdoor
thermostat is closed, all of the heating elements can be
used to maintain the discharge air set point. When W1
heat demand is satisfied, the EHC1 will de−energize all
heating elements, and wait 2 1/2 minutes before checking
for another heat demand. The EHC1 will continue to check
for the next heat call.

Page 10
 Indoor Blower
The EHC1 has no effect over the indoor blower during
cooling or continuous fan. The indoor blower will operate
on the designated speed for compressor operation, and
for electric heat operation depending on the outside equip-
ment used.
Troubleshooting
The EHC1 features two diagnostic LED’S for trouble
shooting. The lights are found just above the discharge air
temperature select (figure 2 .) See table 6 for diagnostic
codes.
B−Electric Heat Sequencer Relays
Relays K32, K33, K34 and K35 are N.O. sequencer re-
lays with a bi-metal disk which actuates the contacts.
The relays are located on the electric heat vestibule panel and
are energized by a 24V heating demand from the EHC1 via
jack/plug P2. When energized, the current flow heats the bi-
metal disk causing the contacts to close. When the relay is
de-energized, the disk cools and the contacts open. The
relays energize heating elements HE1 through HE4, as
well as the blower. The blower is always first on and last
off.

Both the primary (S15) and secondary (S20) limits are located ECB29EH CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Sequence of Operation ECB29EH−20CB−1P
When heat demand is satisfied while indoor thermo-
stat is in the heating mode, the EHC1 control will
check for heat demand every 2 1/2 minutes. The fol-
lowing sequence of operation applies to both,
condensing unit and heat pump applications. On con-
densing units there is no second stage heat, only call
for heat. On heat pumps the following is for second
stage heat.
1 When there is a call for heat, W1 of the indoor thermo-
stat energizes electric heat relay K32 through the
EHC1 control.
2 N.O. K32−1 and K32−2 contacts close, energizing heat-
Page 15
ing element HE1 and indoor blower B3.
3 The EHC1 control will wait four minutes, then check
discharge air at the thermistor in the supply plenum, to
discharge air set point. If more heat is needed, the
EHC1 will energize relay K33.
4 N.O. K33−1 and K33−2 contacts close, energizing HE2.
The EHC1 control will check discharge air temperature
every four minutes. If more heat is needed, relays K34
and K35 will be energized, energizing HE3 and HE4 in
succession.
5 When heat demand is satisfied, the EHC1 will de−ener-
gize heat relays K32 through K35, de−energizing
heating elements HE1 through HE4 in succession.
